Second Fill....

Hi everyone... I want to say reading everyone's post have been really helpful. I was banded on 3/22/12 and had my first fill in May. I've only lost 15lbs to date. I didn't experience any restriction after the first fill so I'm hoping after my second fill tomorrow I will have some and will start losing. My husband and I are going away for our 18th wedding anniversary in September and I would love to be able to hang out on the beach and feel comfortable. Fingers crossed!!!

Well at 10 weeks you are loosing 1.5 lb per week which is well within the expected range (1-2 pounds per week). Some people loose faster than others. I am at restriction and would be really happy to loose 1.5 a week. Don't expect to loose 5 pounds a week like some people on this forum claim it is not realistic.

Received 2nd fill today. Really bummed... I only lost 1/2 lb in 4 weeks. On my last fill she only put 3cc on top of the 1cc the doctor put in at surgery. I still didn't have any restriction. So today she added 1 3/4cc. Hopefully I will notice some restriction now and it will kick the weight lose....
